I have sensitive skin (can't handle harsh chemicals or scents). I have a nice complexion - ivory skin with pink undertones, but I have some large pores on my nose and forehead and some under my eyes. I also have teeny tiny blackheads on my nose. You can only see them if you look closely or use a magnifying mirror.
Any suggestions on how to minimize pores and get rid of blackheads?

1) Exfoliate. Products I like:
Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads - smooth on one side & textured on the other for extra exfoliation.
Murad AHA/BHA face wash - exfoliates w/ the AHA/BHA & jojoba beads.
Avon Microdermabrasion Scrub - evenly sized granules, no added fragrance, rinses clean. Highly effective w/o irritation.
2) Mask
Milk of Magnesia - apply in thin layer where needed & allow to dry 5-10 mins. Will absorb oil & tighten pores.
Origins Charcoal Mask or Beauty w/o Cruelty Clay Mask - both work well. Beauty w/o Cruelty is a better bargain.
Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask - benzoyl peroxide/clay combination. Only apply to nose & where needed. B.p. will help w/ clearing black heads & clay will absorb oil/tighten pores.

There is a face wash from Neutrogena that I myself use. I have huge pores and I tend to get little zits here and there, I noticed a change in my skin within 2 days. Ive been using it for about a 2 weeks now and my skin is looking so much better. Even my make-up is looking better too. Its called : Blackhead Eliminating™ Daily Scrub. They have a whole line for blackhead removal.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Try the Arbonne Clear Advantage System. It contains no fillers and will really help in both minimizing pores and clearing up blackheads. You can see the products at mishelmaree.myarbonne.com. My daughter uses them.

There is no way any product will minimize pore size.Fractional laser treatments can help with pore size, blackheads, fine lines, scars, any pigment issues, and texture. I swear by these treatments. I tried everything under the sun masks, biore strips, astringents, serums and extractors, IPL treatments you name it. I swear it worked amazing for me.

I word of warning never squeeze blackheads pores will be enormous for ever. Use a facisl scrub (those ruth martial spheres) you get the idea and an exfoliateing scrub. Scrub your face and black heads will vanish. I do this once a month - I have No black heads!!!

If you stick to a great regime Am/Pm and exfoliate twice a week and a mask once a week -
you will have some success in a clean face. It may help with your pores. (I have this in my chin)
I have been using a regime by arbonne and it's helped a lot.
